To make a new Battlegroup (the set of runes you use while playing), click on the "Create Battlegroup" button from within the Rune Manager. A window will pop up asking what you want to name your Battlegroup. This name can only be seen by you, so feel free to name your groups with what ever you want, subject to the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct. After entering the name, click Submit and the Rune Manager will switch to the new Battlegroup.

Here's a list of links to specific forums designed for each faction. Battle Groups should consist of 30 runes; full faction or 15/15. If you still have questions you can post in the faction forums and get some advice from more experienced players.

Ending a game happens in three different ways. The first way is when one player destroys the opposing player's shrine.

You can also request a Friendly Quit or you can Surrender from a match.

A Friendly Quit request means that you are asking the opposing player if you can quit without the match counting as credit towards rankings. The opposing player can either accept the Friendly Quit or decline it.

Surrendering means that you are succumbing to defeat, and you accept the loss. This counts as a loss for you and a win for your opponent.

Both of these options are available in the in-game menu, which can be accessed by pressing the ESC key.

Exiting the game while a game is in play will result in a loss for you and a victory for your opponent.
